The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, durable and inexpensive device to hold a garden hose in a position to sprinkle a lawn.

A further object is to provide such a novel device for this purpose that is adjustable so that the water from the hose will be delivered at any desired angle.

Figure 9 shows a modification of the clamping device.

The device comprehends a base board 1 of suitable size. Upon this baseboard are two parallel metal brackets 2, 2, spaced apart a suitable distance. The upright portions of these brackets are at substantially right 'angles to the baseboard 1 and are slightly flexible. A second baseboard member 3 is positioned snugly between the two brackets 2 and is firmly secured to the first base member 1 by fastening means 4. The two base 'members form a T-shaped base for the device. The arm 5 is pivoted between the brackets 2--2 to swing vertically.

The nut 24 is screwed onto the end of the bolt 21. At the center of yoke 15, a loop or eye25 is formed. A link 26 engages in this loop and a coiled spring 27 engages the link 26. To the opposite end of the coiled spring 27 is secured a link 28 which engages a stud member 29 adjustably mounted upon the arm 5.

This arm 29 is carried byan elongated'loop 30 secured to the underside of the arm 5 at'a distance from the notch 12. One side of this In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature.

loop is extended and offset as, at .;31, Figure 8, p

to ass around the edge of the arm 5, and is so ent that the endthereot stands out from the edge of the arm 5, forming the stud 29.

A clamping plate member 32 is held on the underside of the arm 5-by a bolt 33 and nut 3 1-, and this clamp plate 32 holds the loop 30 to the underside of the arm 5. By loosening the nut 34:, the loop '30 may be moved longitudinally of the arm to regulate the tension 1 of the spring 27.

To use the device the hose is placed in the notch 12 as shown in Figure 1, and the yoke member 15 is swung across the notch, firmly holding the hose. Link 28 isthen slipped onto 7 the stud 29. The efi'ect'is that'the hose is securely held in the notch 12 through the spring 27 and yoke 15. The arm 5. may be swung onits pivot 9 to give the desired angle to the stream discharged from the nozzle, the wing nut 10 is then tightened, securely clamping the arm 5 in its adjusted position between the brackets 22.

From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, operation and many advantages of the herein described invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art without further' description and it will be understood that various changes in the size, shape, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit orsacrificing any of the advantagesof the invention.

What I claim is:

1. A support for a garden hose comprising a base board, upstanding brackets secured to the base board, an upstanding armsecured' between the brackets, hose holding means on the arm, and a second base board secured to the first baseboard between the two upstanding brackets and below the end of the upstanding arm,

' 2. A holder for garden hose comprising a base board, a'second base board secured to the first base board at a right angle'thereto, up:

standing brackets attached to thefirstlbase f board at opposite edges of the second base board and an upstanding arm clamped be;

tween the spaced brackets, and hose holding means on the arm. 7

3. A holder for a garden hose comprising
